MainStreet Bank Reports Profitable First Quarter

HERNDON, Va., April 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- MainStreet Bank (OTC Bulletin Board: MNSB) reported a $67 thousand net profit for the quarter-ended March 31, 2009.

Chairman, President & CEO Jeff W. Dick said, "I am pleased to be able to report continued solid progress along with sustained profitability. Without a doubt, we are operating in one of the worst financial markets in history, which has provided many extraordinary challenges for us and for our customers."

The bank's balance sheet continues on a good growth track, with total assets at $200 million, which is an increase of 25% over the first quarter last year. Gross loans are now at $147 million, which represents an increase of more than $25 million in new loans to borrowers in our community. Total deposits are at $155 million, an increase of 36% over the same time period.

After nearly five years of operations, asset quality remains exceptionally strong. Total non-performing loans as of March 31, 2009 were less than 1/2 of one percent of gross loans, and consists of four loans -- one of which represents the 75% guarantee portion of a Small Business Administration loan which is still in the process of collection. Loans past due between 30 - 89 days were 1/10 of one percent of gross loans. There are no performing loans past due over 90 days.

For accounts payable, customers can also build in reminders, customize loan payments, and set up regular funds transfers.
